The factual version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that 2020 has been a pretty horrible<\/strong> year. But thanks to distancing<\/strong> and hand<\/strong>-washing, so far we remain in good<\/strong> health. We\u2019re thankful to be busy with work<\/strong> and school<\/strong> as we try to make the best of hard<\/strong> times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last social event we had in March<\/strong> was Rosie\u2019s twelfth<\/strong> birthday party, and in lockdown we celebrated Lucy turning fourteen<\/strong>. This fall, both girls made the big<\/strong> transition from homeschool to public school (100<\/strong>% online). It\u2019s gone great<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic dashed plans for a trip to England<\/strong> and a concert by Colleen Ballinger<\/strong>, but we managed a \u201cbubble\u201d vacation with dear<\/strong> friends to the Upper Penninsula of Michigan<\/strong>. Rosie learned how to ride a unicycle<\/strong>, and Lucy can now do 21<\/strong> pushups. Our most cherished pandemic practice is that every day<\/strong> we go on a one<\/strong>-mile family walk.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We [sincerely do] wish you a merry<\/strong> Christmas and a happy New Year<\/strong>! We hope someday soon we can be with you to fill in the blanks. Till then, much love!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
